Quick mission: We don't make trouble

Several people came out carrying large and small bags, and Yang Jiu, who was waiting outside, hurried over to help.

"Ma'am, let me help you get it."

Without hesitation, they handed the bag to Yang Jiu.

When shopping, someone has to carry your bag. I finally get the feeling of shopping in later generations.

After a while, Mr. Zhu and his friends came out. Each of them only chose a set of cotton-padded jackets and trousers plus a set of inner clothes, and didn't buy anything else.

One reason is that it is too expensive, and the other is that I am not used to wearing it.

Father Zhu pulled Mother Zhu aside and said, "Old lady, I want to buy some underwear, but they are not available here. They are all trousers... I, I have been wearing the underwear for a long time..."

Mother Zhu suppressed her laughter and said, "Okay, I got it. I'll buy some cloth and make it for you when I get home. Okay?"

Father Zhu said happily, "Great! Let's go back now. I can't wait to take a shower and change clothes. There's nothing good to see on this street, and things are so expensive."

After hearing this, Mother Zhu patted him and said seriously, "Zhu Fu, watch your words."

Father Zhu quickly corrected his attitude and said with a smile, "Yes, Doctor Chen. Let's go back to the inn first. I'll help you thread the needle."

At this time, Mother Zhu turned to look at Zhu Qingqing and Zhu Yingying, and said gently: "Qingqing, Yingying, if you want to go shopping, go ahead. Your father and I will go back to the inn first."

Wu Di, who was standing by, also said, "I don't want to go shopping anymore, uncle, let's go back too."

Yu Bo glanced at Yang Jiu who was winking at him desperately.

What that means is, go back, go back, go back quickly, we still have something to talk about.

Yu Bo: "Okay, it's okay to go back and rest for a while. Then Brother Dong, you can continue shopping with my cousin and the others."

Wang Xiangdong nodded in agreement.

He is responsible for the safety of both sisters.

Yang San said quickly, "Don't worry, go back. I'll be with Master Zhu and Miss Yingying.

Master Zhu, Miss Yingying, what do you want to buy?"

Zhu Yingying: "I promised Didi to buy her some snacks, I wonder if there's a store that sells them."

"What are snacks?"

"Just snacks, candies, cookies, melon seeds, peanuts, and the like."

"Oh, yes, yes. Come with me."

As he spoke, Yang San brought the two of them to a candy shop.

This shop is not big, but it sells a wide variety of things.

There were roasted nuts like melon seeds, peanuts, and chestnuts; snacks like peach cakes and sesame cakes; some candied fruits; and even brown sugar, tea, salt, and butter. Furthermore, the basket at the door even contained a few fresh vegetables and fruits: green onions, garlic sprouts, pumpkin, apples, pears, green-skinned oranges, and a bundle of sugarcane.

Seeing these, Zhu Yingying couldn't move her feet and was so excited that she was a little incoherent: "

"Sister, sister, buy, buy, buy, I want all of these..."

Yang San smiled and said to Zhu Yingying, "Miss Yingying, these are all worthless things. If you like them, feel free to pick them out!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yingying showed a bright smile on her face and started to pick like a happy little bird.

At this moment, she seemed to have forgotten all her worries and was immersed in joy.

God have mercy on her! She had been here for so long, and apart from eating wild fruits and strawberries in the mountains, she had never seen fruit. She had completely forgotten that there was such a thing as fruit. The walnuts she ate that night didn't count; they were just nuts.

Although these fruits do not look as good as the later varieties, they are still fruits.

Zhu Qingqing was much calmer than Zhu Yingying. She asked the shopkeeper about the prices of these vegetables and fruits.

The shopkeeper said, "The green onions and garlic sprouts are ten cents a bunch, and the pumpkins are fifteen cents each."

Zhu Qingqing estimated that a bunch of green onions and garlic sprouts weighed at least 700 to 800 kilograms, and a pumpkin weighed about 400 to 500 kilograms. The price was really cheap.

"These apples, pears, oranges, and sugarcane were just shipped over from Yucheng today. They're very fresh and sell for thirty cents a pound.

Fresh fruit is not easy to transport and is not produced locally, so…"

The shopkeeper explained.

Zhu Qingqing nodded.

Ask Yang San: "How long will it take us to get to the next town?"

Yang San: "The next town is still four days away. But there are some small villages along the way where you can rest and find some food."

Zhu Qingqing nodded and said, "Two bunches of green onions and garlic sprouts, one pumpkin, and these fruits..."

Seeing Zhu Yingying looking at her eagerly,

Seeing that there were only three or four pounds in the basket, at most five pounds, he gritted his teeth and said, "We want them all. We don't have any left. Just give us this basket."

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, where does the madam live? I'll have the clerk help send it over."

He met a big customer today.

If he had known this earlier, he would have put it in a basket. He would have even given them the basket.

He looked at the bundle of sugar cane and said, "Madam, wouldn't you like to buy some of this sugar cane?"

Zhu Qingqing took a look at the sugar cane and didn't want to buy it at first. The sugar cane was not as big and crispy as the ones in later generations.

This sugarcane that looks like a hemp stalk was sent directly to the sugar factory for sugar extraction in later generations, so it was called a sugar stick.

This sugarcane is hard on the teeth and can easily cause blisters on the tongue and mouth, but Zhu Qingqing and Zhu Yingying ate a lot of it when they were young.

He was eating it secretly, and was chased away by the people guarding the sugarcane field with knives.

Thinking of that scene, Zhu Qingqing couldn't help laughing, as if she was reliving her childhood dreams.

He waved his hand and said, "Buy them all."

The shopkeeper quickly calculated the bill, as if he was afraid that they would go back on their word.

Zhu Qingqing was about to pay when Yang San stepped forward and said, "Hey, Master Zhu, let me do it. Let me do it. Just consider it as a snack I bought for you."

Zhu Qingqing did not give in to Yang San's little thought.

Let him pay.

Yang San asked the boss to round off the remaining amount before calling the waiter to take it to the inn.

Fresh fruit is not easy to sell in this border town.

The Tibetans don't eat it. They only like meat, tsampa and barley wine.

The officials guarding the city of Da Zhou had their own way to transport fruits from Yucheng or even the more distant Fucheng, which were better than what he sold.

As for ordinary people, they would not buy it. With the thirty cents, they could use it to buy a few pounds of noodles and mix them with wild vegetables, which would be enough for the whole family to eat for several days.

So his fruit is like chicken ribs, and only other merchants buy a few to satisfy their family and children's cravings...

It's really rare to meet a big customer like today.

I wonder which family this noble person belongs to?

He asked his clerk to deliver it over just to see if he could still do business in the future.

When the waiter came back to report, the innkeeper secretly felt regretful. It was a pity that such a deal could only be done once. The people staying in the inn were just passers-by, not long-term big customers.

Zhu Qingqing and the others had no idea what the shopkeeper was thinking.

As soon as Zhu Yingying went out, she grabbed an apple, wiped it and started to eat it.

She kept shouting, "Sister, sister, you eat too."

Zhu Qingqing handed an orange to Wang Xiangdong: "Lao Geng, you should eat more oranges. You know what sepsis is."

Even in later generations, when Wang Xiangdong was guarding the outpost, these fruits were rare, so he did not dislike the orange that had not yet turned red. He peeled the orange and ate it. Although it was a bit sour and the taste was a bit bland, it still made him feel sweet in his heart.
